>The 1997 IGSS on Electronic Libraries will be held at the Department of
>Information and Library Studies at the University of Wales Aberystwyth from
>June 14th - July 5th 1997. Participants at the school will learn of recent
>developments which enable the worldwide access of information via the
Internet,
>the impact on document delivery systems, electronic publishing (including
>the emergence of electronic journals), the role of librarians in making their
>users aware of all these developments and the impact on " traditional" library
>services. Such developments are changing the pattern of information provision
>worldwide. Librarians have to adjust their role as custodians of local
>collections and encompass concepts of the virual electronic library.
> IGSS aims to provide an opportunity for librarians and information
>professionals from all over the world to discuss matters of common concern and
>learn of recent developments. The first IGSS was held in Aberystwyth, in
>conjunction with the School of Library and Information Science at the
University
>of Pittsburgh in 1973, and so in 1997 will be celebrating its Silver Jubilee.
>Each year some 25-40 participants from almost as many countries attend IGSS.
>IGSS 1997 will involve about 50 hours of class contact time comprising
>lecture/discussion sessions, seminars and practicals as well as visits to local
>relevant organisations. In addition there will be a study tour to Oxford
>( to visit Blackwell's and the Bodleian Library) and to Manchester to attend
>the biennial conference of the UK Library Association.
> The cost of 1850 pound sterling for IGSS 1997 will cover all tuition,
>accommodation,meals and the study tour. The Director of IGSS will be Lucy Tedd,
>of DILS who will be joined in teaching by others from Aberystwyth and Ida
>Flynn from Pittsburgh.
